This firm is one of the best for immigration and labor issues. With some of the best and most knowledgeable support staff, this New York firm handles a fairly high volume of matters expeditiously. Associates do complain that the work gets fairly cookie-cutter in the business-like office environment, which is not helped by this firm's compensation, notoriously below market. Nonetheless, the reasonable hours requirements and a down to earth pool of partners attract and often keep qualified associates.
